GTA 6 gameplay reveal breakdown: A summary of all the details we spotted

Alright, we've finally seen some real, official, brand new GTA 6 gameplay. Regardless of any more leaks springing, there's something concrete out there for us to pull apart. I was expecting some disembodied commentary voiceover but it was actually just pure cutscenes and gameplay for 26 minutes. The timeline jumped around a whole lot so Jason and Lucia's story still isn't super clear, but we can still make sense of a bunch of combat and crime features that were included.

GTA 6 Looks Like Vice City, but It’s Taking a Big Idea From San Andreas

A return to Vice City has been a long time coming. And, from what we’ve seen of GTA 6 so far, it will at least partially feel like a homecoming for those of us who were there for Rockstar’s iconic PS2 tribute to Scarface. The 1980s may now be so far in the rear-view that our new protagonists weren’t even alive to see them, but there’s still echoes of the synthwave decade on the city’s streets: a retro Grotti Cheetah, neon-lit hotels overlooking the boardwalk, Phil Cassidy selling lethal merchandise, and a certain Vercetti Estate. It’s clear that Rockstar intends to spend at least a little time reveling in our nostalgia for Vice City.

Why is Meta calling out TikTok and YouTube with a flurry of new ads? It's 'reputational jujitsu.'

The Isle of Man TT circuit and the machines riders use to tackle these death-defying timed trials have changed considerably since the 1960s. Yet the basic riding techniques used by a six-time winner of one of the most challenging (and possibly deadly) races in the world, can still be applied to your motorcycle riding and racing skills today.
